North Korea is keeping People's Republic of China busy, even as the latter tries to keep the world busy with its achy finances and outing by its military in the artificial coral reef islands in the South China Sea. Wu Dawei, China's special envoy for Korean peninsula affairs, went to Pyongyang with a delegation on Tuesday, North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency said, without giving any detail. His trip came in the wake of increasing media reports speculating that the regime may be preparing to launch a long-range missile in a follow up to its Jan. 6 nuclear test.
Under United Nations Security Council resolutions, North Korea is banned from both nuclear and ballistic missile testing. China is a permanent council member. But it has been unable to exercise any influence on Kim Jong Un, despite North Korea depending on Beijing for 80 percent of its food and energy requirement.
